How to Sample Your Own Songs in Suno

Sampling your own songs in Suno v6 is a powerful way to breathe new life into your existing music. Whether you want to repurpose a vocal line, isolate a guitar riff, or build an entirely new beat around a section of your track, Suno’s advanced tools make it possible. This guide covers how to use Suno v6’s sampling features, including the Sample Flip tool, section editing, and custom prompts.

What You Need to Know About Suno v6 Sampling

Suno v6 introduces a variety of new features that make sampling your own songs easier than ever. The most important thing to know is that sampling and mashup features are only available for songs in your own library. This means you can only sample tracks you’ve created or uploaded yourself.

Suno v6 allows you to:

Isolate specific moments in your song (e.g., a vocal line, drum break, or guitar riff)
Build a new beat around those moments
Edit and manipulate the sample using Suno’s section editing tools

To get started, you need to have a track in your library. If you’re using the Sample Flip tool, you can let Suno automatically find the best sampleable moments in your song.

Using the Sample Flip Tool

The Sample Flip tool on sonomusic.com is designed to help you find the most sampleable moments in your own songs. It automatically analyzes your track and identifies sections that are ideal for sampling—like vocal hooks, drum breaks, or instrumental phrases.

To use it:

Go to sonomusic.com/sample-flip.
Upload your song and let the tool analyze it.
Review the sampleable moments and choose the one you want to work with.
Use the generated prompt in Suno to create a new track based on your sample.

This is especially useful if you’re not sure where to start. The tool gives you a few options, and you can then refine the sample using Suno’s advanced features.

Manual Sampling: Pick the Moment, Chop, and Build a Beat

If you prefer a more hands-on approach, you can manually select the section you want to sample, chop it, and build a new beat around it. Here’s how:

Open your song in Suno’s editor and use the timeline to locate the section you want to sample.
Use the Replace Section or Crop tools to isolate the part you want to use.
Once the section is isolated, you can use it as a sample in a new track. To do this, go to the Custom mode and input a prompt like: “Sample the vocal line from 0:45, build a beat around it with a 808 and a hi-hat.”

With this method, you can maintain more control over the final output. You can even combine multiple samples from different parts of your song to create a rich, layered track.

Using Section Tags to Guide Your Sampling

While Suno v6 doesn’t officially document section tags, they are a common community practice that often works well. You can use them in the lyrics field to guide how your sample is processed. For example:

[Vocal Sample] I’m not going to lie, I’ve been feeling a little lonely lately.

This tells Suno to focus on the vocal section and preserve the tone and phrasing. It’s a great way to ensure your sample retains the original vibe while being reworked into something new.

For best results, keep your section tags simple and place them on their own line in the lyrics box.
